A tightly condensed, steeply slanted sans with tall proportions and a compact footprint. Strokes are heavy and dark, with crisp, straight-sided forms softened by rounded corners, creating a squared-yet-smooth silhouette. Curves are streamlined and verticals feel slightly tapered in places, giving a forward-leaning rhythm; counters are relatively small, and spacing is kept tight for maximum density. Numerals and capitals echo the same compressed, aerodynamic construction for a cohesive, display-first texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, sports and event graphics, bold branding moments, and packaging or labels that need condensed impact. It can also work for short UI callouts or banners where a fast, emphatic tone is desired, but is less appropriate for small text or extended reading due to its dense counters and strong slant.
The overall tone is fast, assertive, and high-energy, with a distinctly retro athletic and industrial feel. The strong slant adds motion and urgency, making the face read as confident and promotional rather than quiet or editorial.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum punch in limited horizontal space, combining a forward-leaning stance with rounded-rectangular geometry for an aerodynamic, modern-retro display voice.
The design relies on bold mass and condensed width to create impact, so internal apertures and counters can close up quickly as size decreases. In longer settings the tight rhythm reads best when given generous line spacing and simple backgrounds.
